While I have described in detail the preferred embodiment of my process and the proportions of ingredients, it is to be understood that the details of procedure may be altered, the proportions of ingredients varied, and may be employed without departing from the spirit of my invention or the scope of the subjoined claims.

Having described'my invention, I claim 1. The process which consists in furnacing at a red heat a mixture of an insoluble potassium containing silicate, a body containing the radical S0 and a body capable of acting catalytically with respect to such S 2. The process which consists in furnacing at a red heat a mixture of an insoluble potassium containing silicate, sodium acid sulfate and a catalyzer.

3. The process which consists in furnacing at a red heat a mixture of an insoluble potassium containing silicate, a sulfate, and a catalyzcr adapted to increase the action of the sulfur trioxid produced upon the silicate.

l. The proccss which consists in furnacing at a red heat a mixture of an insoluble potassium containing silicate, a sulfate, and a fluorid.

5. The process which consists in furnacing at a red heat a mixture of an insoluble that known chemical equivalents v potassium containing sulfate, and a fiuorid.

6. The process which consists furnacing at a red heat a mixture of an insoluble potassium containing silicate, sodium acid sulfate, and a metal fluoridy 7. The process which consists in furnacing at a red heat a mixture of an insoluble potassium containing silicate, a sulfatc, and a body adapted to act catalytically with respect to sulfur trioxid, in the presence of a reducing agent.

8. The process which consists in furnacing at a red heat a mixture of an insoluble potassium containing silicate, sodium acid sulfate and a catalyzer in the presence of a reducing agent.

9. The process which consists in furnacing at a red heat a mixture of an insoluble potassium containing silicate, sodium acid sulfate and a catalyzer, in the presence of a reducing agent and water.

10. The process which consists in furnacing at a red heat a mixture of an insoluble potassium containing silicate and approxi mately one-half the amount by weight of sodium acid sulfate in the presence of a relatively small amount of a metal fiuorid.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
